Another good earmark

August 16th, 2008 by Brad F

First things first, this project sounds very exciting.

Of course, our junior Senator saw a good press opportunity to talk about energy.

U.S. Sen. John Tester, D-Mont., spoke at the Thursday event, saying that the country needs to make energy research a priority for national security and to strengthen the economy.

Fantastic. It looks like the project could use some help.

Federal funding for the MSU Billings fuel cell project is scheduled to end in November, but project partners hope more money can be found to continue it.

Of course they would not have to hope for more money if the man who found the funds to start the project, Conrad Burns, were still in office. Funny how that tid-bit did not make it into the article. Maybe if you do not mention that this project was a Burns earmark, you no longer have to be against it. period.

Good post Brad. With Tester, it’s kinda funny how the statement, “I’m against earmarks, period” has gone by the wayside, among other promises. It’s also kinda funny how he took time from his 38 day paid vacation to talk about energy issues all because of the leadership of Denny Rehberg.

All that is required of Dems is the fact that they care.

Bradley, the EmmEssEmm is under no obligation to speculate how things would have gone if losers would have won. The only ones silly enough to undertake such effort are those such as yourself. Burns lost. Get over it.

Wulgar-

I am over it. All I am asking is for reporters to do their job and say who got the funds to start the project.

P.S. are we formal with Bradley, beyond my grandmother I have never heard that.
